-Mesa no longer supports GNU autoconf/automake.  Why?

-<li>It seemed to seldom work on anything but Linux
-<li>The config files were hard to maintain and hard to understand

-Now Mesa again uses a conventional Makefile system (as it did originally).
-Basically, each Makefile in the tree includes one of the configuration

+Do note that Mesa uses these values to size some internal buffers,
